    Mine has absolutely nothing left from the TX Edition package.

    Had I been on TW before buying the truck I would have gotten a TRD Sport PreRunner

    Its all good man, Im a remnant of a Baja now myself. It is funny how directions in builds can change so much from the initial plan.

    Yeah probably wise to not waste money on the Rav if you plan to get a T4R... I personally wouldnt mind having a T4R as a DD.

    Yeah i think that once you start playing in the build you find out what you enjoy doing most. I found that i dont like water or mud very much. Its a PITA to clean and causes a lot of problems when it gets deep enough.

    Sometimes i wonder why i bought a taco instead of a T4R but then i remember that i love my open long bed!\

    If i get a trailer then i will get a camper shell then it will be kinda like i have an SUV...

    Yea man, my brakes are still giving me shit about the puddles I hit a month ago. Very true though, had I known what I wanted to do and knew I couldn't escape the bug I would have went for a blue taco and then went to town.

    I like the taco blue. I personally went with white to keep the heat down during these Texas summers.

    Haha I have noticed half the vehicles in Texas are white because of that. Oh well though, I don't mind having a red one as it seems not many have my build in that color these days so I stand out better.

    I could feel the pain just reading the black and leather. I never get leather in the off chance it’s even slightly warm in the summer.
